Grades
grades are officially published via Osiris: results via Blackboard are preliminary!1-10 (very poor - excellent)
’10 is for God, 9 is for the teacher’
Average just under 7
> 5.5 / 6 => passing grade
In case of a resit of an exam: the highest obtained grade is the valid grade
It is not (very) common to retake exams for which you scored a passing grade the first time
